Chapter five
Different. I like how Amethyst described herself as different. She wasn't crazy, but she was simply different. Being different is standing out from something else or not having the same qualities as them. When you think of it, being different isn't a bad thing. Being different is wonderful. Why would someone want to be like everyone else? When you're different, you can stand out from the crowd and be your own person. Amethyst strives to be different, and I guess I do too.
"Are you enjoying your stay so far?" Amethyst asked me in attempt to start conversation.
I shrugged. "I haven't seen much, but I know it's lovely. After all, I am in Neverland."
She didn't ask what I meant by Neverland, which I really liked. So far, I wasn't being judged or called names by her, which I do appreciate. I can see myself being friends with Amethyst, she's cool.
"I think it's hell, actually." She told me.
"That's the second time I've been told that, today."
"Really?" She questioned. "Who said? You know, you're the only person I've met whose excited to be here."
"Luke told me it was hell."
I thought about his piercing blue eyes fixed on me in the bath as he chewed on his lip, sucking his ring in and out. He was dreamy, and I do hope to see him again.
"Who is he anyway?" I asked her.
"Lucas Hemmings." She told me. "He checked himself in about a year ago. He witnessed his family being murdered and then he sort of just went mad. I don't blame him though, if my family for slaughtered right in front of my eyes I'd be pretty messed up."
The thought of young Luke watching with big eyes as his family died scared me. I had so many questions about the event, but the voices told me I shouldn't ask Amethyst. I couldn't help but feel bad for him.
"He's dangerous, Alaska." Amethyst said. "I wouldn't get associated with him if I were you. Bad boys around here aren't good."
I laughed. "That's why they're called bad boys."
She rolled her eyes and then mumbled something to her imaginary friends of whatever the fuck she does. I took the opportunity to try to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. I let out a groan and sunk down the wall and onto my butt.
"What time is it anyway?" I wondered.
"Who knows? It's probably early morning though. They open the doors at seven for breakfast."
"What do we do all day?"
She shrugged. "Depends who's asking. It really matters what your scheduled to do. Usually nothing though. It's like they don't even care to make us better."
"I don't need to get better." I defended.
"Well, some people think you do."
Before I could protest, the door swung open and I flew backwards because I was leaning on it. I mumbled a few swears and fortunately nobody heard me cuss.
"Time for breakfast." Is all they said before leaving our room and heading to the next one. It was a girl, but she didn't have such a feminine voice as Karen did. I miss Karen.
Amethyst got out of her bed and helped me off the floor. She was sweet so far and I could definitely see myself being friends with her.
We walked to the dining hall which was also in the multipurpose room. The residents were sitting at the lunch tables mostly eating their food. Some were playing in what was on their plates, and others were refusing to eat. Amethyst and I, however, got our trays and sat down at the tables to eat. I haven't had a meal since I was back home, so I ate my food really fast. It looked gross, but it filled me. The only utensils we were allowed to have were plastic spoons and the food was all mushy.
I scanned my eyes around the room. I couldn't help myself from searching for him. He was so mysterious and sexy, I wanted to see him again. At last, I found him sitting alone at a table in the corner. He wasn't eating, just pushing his food around on the plate. I don't blame him, the food was pretty gross. Luke looked lonely sitting alone. His eyes were darker than usual and his lip was pouted slightly. I wanted to talk to him and get to know him better.
"Don't even think about it," Amethyst said. "He's dangerous, Alaska. This place isn't a place for crushing. Especially on him."
"He's so hot." I told her. She laughed at me, shaking her head slightly.
My eyes found their way back to Luke's table, but he was gone. Disappointment rushed through my body. He's gone and I want to see him. He's so handsome it hurts me sometimes and his dick is huge.
The people inside my head started laughing and me.
"I saw you checking me out from a far." He breathed into my neck sending warm rushed off air making me shiver.
"Go away, Luke." Amethyst said. I don't know why she hated him so much, but she did. I couldn't help but wonder why she had a burning passion for him and if the feeling was mutual.
"Amethyst, shut your fucking face. Don't you have imaginary friends to talk to?" He fired back.
Yep, the feeling was mutual.
"Besides, I'm not here to talk to your stupid ass. Alaska and I are friends." Luke touched my back and I shivered once again. He was making me nervous and I think he knew that too. My cheeks turned crimson and I tried to hide, but it was hard.
"Whatever," she said. Amethyst got up from the bench. "See you around, Alaska." She told me, before walking off.
Luke sat down next to me. He was close, too close even. I felt his breath on my neck and then he let out a chuckle. "She's a whore." He said, referring to Amethyst. Luke pushed the hair away from my neck and it reminded me of when he did the same thing in the bathroom yesterday.
"She's my friend." I defended. Suddenly, the picture of young Luke watching his parents die flooded through my mind. He screamed for his mommy and daddy to wake up, but they didn't. They just lay there lifeless on the floor. I don't know what was so bad about their murder, but it must have been horrible if he checked himself into this place because of it.
"You don't need her as a friend," he spoke with a low voice into my neck. "all you need is me, baby."
